'Going Postal' is a book launch, sticker exchange and postal themed exhibition presented from renown photographer at Ad Hoc Art. Martha Cooper. Postal stickers have long been a preferred substrate used by street artists to get up. Of course, because stickers from the US Postal Service, UPS, DHL and FedEx are so readily available, most of these stickers get lost in the fray, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
That's where graffiti photography legend Martha Cooper comes in. Shooting the origins of hip-hop and graffiti cultures since the late 1970s in New York City, and later all over the world, Cooper's well-trained eyes know how to recognize deft sticker art. Here then is a collection of more than 200 photographs of some of Cooper's favorite handmade postal stickers from around the world, done by some of the scene's better-known artists and the anonymous.
Cooper has compiled a collection of photographs shot in numerous cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tokyo, Berlin and Amsterdam, featuring postal-sticker art created by FAUST, STAIN, C.DAMAGE, GET2, COSBE and many more. Going Postal documents how an old-school method has burgeoned into another rich facet of the world's graffiti cultures.
Opening Reception: Friday, February 20th, 7-10pm
Postal Themed Exhibition on view for 2 more days: Sat Feb 21st, Sun Feb 22nd (1-8pm each day)

Determination of the evolution of layer thickness errors and interfacial imperfections in ultrathin sputtered Cr/C multilayers using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 12, pp. 11815-11824 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1221 KB)
The structures of ultrathin sputtered Cr/C multilayers were determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The evolution of layer thickness errors, interdiffusion and interfacial roughness were simulated using time series models. The results show that with increasing of interdiffusion and roughness the multilayer thickness ratio changes, thereby influencing the optical performance. All structural parameters show good correlation with and influence adjacent layers. The system errors of the deposition equipment can also be evaluated by the models.

I am switching to a new phone, how can I transfer all the paid app from my old phone ? Can anyone help, please and thanks.
If you bought them from google play (market) then just add the same google account to your new device and it should allow you to re-download all purchased content to that device as they are stored with your account details for such instances.
On that note..... I stupidly set up my phone with my work email, can I change the email account details but keep the same market data? (just change the email account my phone is registered to?)
Short answer is no. Long answer is you may have to work with individual paid apps vendor and google to transfer the apps. Google Groups If they are mostly free apps, I would suggest to take the effort to transfer to a long term personal email (i.e free one). Also, in case you don't know, you can have more than 1 account on the phone. The apps work just fine, regardless of what account they are in.

Space position measurement using long-path heterodyne interferometer with optical frequency comb |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 3, pp. 2725-2732 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2398 KB)
A heterodyne interference system was developed for position measurement. A stabilized optical-frequency comb is used as the laser source. The preliminary experiment to measure a distance of 22.478 m shows a drift of 1.6 μm in 20 minutes after the temperature compensation. Comparison and frequency shift experiments have been done for a distance of about 7.493 m. The experimental results show that the drift is mainly caused by environmental condition changes and the vibration of the table and floor also has some effects. It was verified that the absolute distance measurement can be realized by fringe scanning and frequency-shifting methods.

magazine team shares extra information we gathered to expand your knowledge of our featured subjects.
Some hills are truly alive with the sound of music. In about 30 known places around the world, sand dunes produce low, haunting notes that carry for miles. Coming from "booming" or "singing" dunes, the notes are produced when a thin sheet of sand avalanches down the face of a dune. The avalanches can be created by wind or natural slumping, or by people sliding down a dune. The avalanches cause shearing of the sand grains, whose motion produces wavelengths of sound that resonate and build up into a low-frequency, steady musical tone (dunes sing in a range about two octaves below that of middle C).
However, dunes don't boom with every avalanche; many factors have to coincide to make sand sing. The dunes only sing in hot and dry weather when they have a layer of dry, loose sand on top of a stationary, more compact layer that acts as a sound board to reflect sound waves; moisture silences the dunes. Further, the sand grains need to be well-rounded, smooth, and approximately the same size to resonate at the same frequency.
You can visit these booming dunes in the American Southwest:
Eureka Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California
Kelso Dunes, Mojave National Preserve, California
Dumont Dunes, Mojave Desert, California
Sand Mountain, Nevada
Big Dune, Amargosa Desert, Nevada
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado

The Australian Pink Floyd Show have been called the world's greatest tribute band. And they won't get an argument from the real Pink Floyd.

Jerry Garcia looked around the Grateful Dead's rehearsal studio in San Rafael, California, and smiled. "It's good to not die," said Garcia, who suffered a nearly fatal diabetic coma in July of '86. The legendary guitarist whose mercurial improvisations are the life's blood of the Grateful Dead's music has made a miraculous recovery from an illness that at first left him incapable of walking, speaking clearly or playing.
The Story Changes, a rock 'n' roll duo from Dayton, Ohio, have been compared to Foo Fighters, Alkaline Trio and Faith No More. The This Is Your Moment EP is their follow-up release to Analogies, the release that has kept band touring constantly for two years.
Steve Vai's career, thus far, has been a series of one hard act to follow after another. First, he replaced Adrian Belew as the resident wang-bar king in Frank Zappa's band. Next, he replaced the incredible Yngwie Malmsteen in Alcatrazz. And now, as the lone guitarist in David Lee Roth's band, he has the dubious distinction of being compared to Eddie Van Halen, at least in the mind of the public.

Saw this guy on a trip to Stratford upon Avon. As we walked up to him he was absolutely still and as my grandson walked passed him staring the guy moved....you've never seen anyone jump so fast in your life,lol. We watched him for a good 10 minutes and I gotta admit he was great. he kept the changing crowd entertained and made a lot of passers by jump outta their skins. It was a beatiful hot sunny day and reflections were a bit of a problem as you can see in the phone box glass, someone else taking pictures but it kinda adds to it for me.

Breaking Local News
'Zero Tolerance' tonight with extra patrols on the roads
The Kanawha County Sheriff's office sends the reminder that there are extra Halloween Patrols on the roads. An extra 24 deputies are on patrol through today and they're in areas historically prone to Halloween vandalism. They will be in both marked and un-marked vehicles as well as on foot, and the sheriff's office says they have orders of "Zero Tolerance" for would-be vandals. Those found breaking the law will be arrested.
Emergency shelters set up across the state, including several in Kanawha County
Throughout the state, a total of 26 shelters are open in Berkeley, Greenbrier, Jefferson, Kanawha, Monongalia, Morgan, Nicholas, Preston, Raleigh, Randolph, Upshur and Wyoming counties. And food is on the way. FEMA is bringing in 700,000 meals and 1.4 million liters of water that will be distributed across the state. In Kanawha County there are several shelters set up, Including Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sissonville, Salvation Army at Roane and Tennessee Avenue in Charleston, and the Kanawha City Rec Center, all of which will be overnight shelters. The Hansford Center in St. Albans is also open as a shelter.
Frontier Communications reports internet outages
Some in West Virginia have power, but no internet. Frontier Communications, West Virginia's largest phone and Internet service provider, says it received more than 8,400 reports from customers about outages and other problems in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. There are crews working on the problems now, and they're facing down trees and poor road conditions which complicate matters. But they're working to get the internet service restored as quickly as possible. Frontier has half a million customers in West Virginia.
Several emergency shelters open now
First the state of emergency declared by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, and then the federal disaster declaration from President Obama. West Virginia is seeing its share of trouble from Superstorm Sandy. Usually homes are safe haven during a snowstorm, but in Nicholas County on Tuesday the roofs on threee homes collapsed from the weight of the snow. West Virginia National Guard troops were called out to help residents get to shelters. All of those folks were okay. In Kanawha County there are several shelters set up, Including Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sissonville, Salvation Army at Roane and Tennessee Avenue in Charleston, and the Kanawha City Rec Center, all of which will be overnight shelters. The Hansford Center in St. Albans is also open as a shelter.
Additional crews brought in to help restore power
It's a bit of a flashback from the summer, after the wind storms of June 29. More contractors from other states are being brought in to help restore power. Appalachian Power said on Tuesday they expected more than 400 contractors from states including Oklahoma and Texas, to help look over the damage done and restore power as quickly as possible.
State soccer tournament postponed
Because of the weather, the this weekend's boys and girls high school state soccer tournament has been postponed. The state tournament was scheduled for Friday and Saturday at the YMCA Youth Sports Complex in Beckley. It's been moved to Tuesday, Nov. 6, and Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the same site.
Charleston Trick-or-Treating moved to Thursday
The weather has wrecked havoc on many things, including Trick-or-
Treating. Leaders from the City of Charleston and Kanawha County have decided to move Trick-or-Treating in Kanawha County and Charleston from tonight to Thursday night from 6 to 8pm. Trick-or-Beat at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston is still set for Wednesday, October 31. Nitro Halloween Hoe Down has been moved to Saturday, November 3. Putnam County has officially postponed trick-or-treating until Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday evening will also be the time to head out in St. Albans.
Marshall basketball game postponed
One of many weather-related schedule changes of the past few days...Marshall's exhibition basketball game with Bluefield, which had been scheduled for Monday night has been rescheduled for Thursday as part of a doubleheader with the women's team.
Charleston man faces attempted murder charges
Putnam County sheriff's deputies say a man was shot in the leg early Monday, and a Charleston man has been charged with attempted murder. 29-year old Andrew DeWayne Hodge is accused of shooting 29-year old Colter Anderson during a domestic dispute. The police report says at one point the gun was pointed at Anderson's head and chest, but he was eventually shot in the leg. He's since been treated and released at CAMC General Hospital.
Spotty power outages reported with the storm
Power outages have been reported across West Virginia, although they have been spotty. First Energy's website says their hardest hit areas have been in Berkely and Randolph Counties, where almost fifteen thousand outages have been reported. Appalachian Power reports more than 11,000 outages spread across seven southern counties Monday night. That includes Fayette and Nicholas Counties.

Ottawa Urban Chicken
Dear Ottawa City Hall:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
We, residents of Ottawa, would like you to change the City by-law to allow residents to keep a limited number of hens (no roosters) in their backyards within City limits. Keeping hens would enable residents to provide a nutritious, delicious, safe, and environmentally friendly eggs for their families, while at the same time teaching our children where food comes from, and what it is worth.
Dr. David Waltner-Toews, veterinarian, epidemiologist, and professor at the University of Guelph, has written that he knows of "no evidence linking human illness with keeping small urban flocks." Further, he believes that "if we do not make room for these urban entrepreneurs, we risk losing a set of very important food-rearing skills that will enable us to better navigate the economic, climatic and environmental instability our society will face in the coming decades."
Backyard hens have always been allowed in many major US cities, including New York. Canadian cities such as Vancouver are now catching up. Please let us, the residents of Ottawa, join millions of other city dwellers in North America who are allowed to provide eggs for our families by keeping a few hens in the backyard.

I support urban chicken
Geo Nielsen
I want to keep a couple chickens in my back yard. i see no reason why a government should be allowed to stop it's citizens from feeding themselves.
susan connolly
What are the implications of being 'caught' with 2 chickens in my backyard? Hanging me or just finding me, how much is the fine? Does anyone know? After 40 years in the same house in Kanata, I'm thinking of moving.

I did a quick browse and didn't see this being mentioned yet. I noticed when you go in to edit your profile and when the page loads with all the input fields, it erases whatever you may of had for "Location." It's not a serious thing, but it gets really annoying as you have to type in your location every time you update any field of your profile.

Club Sports Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between club sports and intramurals?
Club Sport Federation (CSF) groups are for students who want to compete or train in a certain sport while possibly representing EWU in club level competitions. CSF teams select their own student officers and the membership of each club has a stake in all decisions made concerning the club. CSF teams practice during the week and play most of their games on weekends. Intramural Sports (I.M.) consist of EWU students, faculty and staff that compete against each other in organized leagues and tournaments within the campus on a more recreational level.
What is the difference between club sports and the varsity athletic program?
CSF teams are organized and managed by students. They range from competitive to recreational to instructional and are funded by S&A Fees, club fundraisers, and membership dues. Clubs compete against other university club teams mainly in the Northwest. Varsity athletic sports are housed in the Athletic Department and compete in NCAA competition with scholarship athletes.
How do I find more information including contact information for CSF teams?
Contact names and email addresses for each club, links to their individual pages, and other club related information is available on the find a club sport page to the left. Please contact Rick Scott, Coordinator of Club Sports if you have any questions about a specific club (509) 359-4013 or need help regarding CSF groups.
Are the clubs competitive, recreational, or instructional?
There are currently 30 club sport teams at EWU; they provide a wide variety of activities and recreational pursuits. Some clubs are only competitive, recreational, or instructional, while other clubs may have a combination of these elements. Contact the club to inquire about its level of competition.
Are there fees to participate with clubs?
Since CSF teams are student led organizations, the clubs decide on the level of membership dues. Most clubs choose to charge membership dues in order to assist with the operating costs of the club. These fees may be used to pay for travel, uniforms, equipment, facilities, or possible referee fees.
Do these clubs have try-outs?
All clubs are open to any student, of any gender or skill level wanting to participate. However, there are clubs that do hold try-outs due to their competitive nature and limited facilities. Any such try-out will be advertised so all interested persons will be aware of any and all try-out issues.
What is the time commitment?
Practice times vary by club. Most CSF teams practice 2–3 times a week for about two hours per practice. Practice times vary depending on availability, weather, and student class schedules.
Where is the club sports office located?
University Recreation Center - 201

Visionary: Rackspace
Rackspace offers a fixed-size, paid-by-the-VM, Xen-virtualized public cloud IaaS, with optional managed services. It also offers storage via an integrated content delivery network with Akamai, Database-as-a-Service, and PaaS, Gartner said. As the founder of the open-source cloud management platform OpenStack, its Cloud Builders business provides commercial open-source support and professional services around it.
Strengths Gartner said the company's wide community of participating vendors makes it a key cloud infrastructure ecosystem, up against VMware, Microsoft and Amazon.
Caution: The future of OpenStack's emerging technology is uncertain. "OpenStack's evolution may not necessarily align closely with Rackspace's needs -- it is possible that OpenStack could be successful without it leading to Rackspace's success," Gartner said.

We show that quantum information may be transferred between atoms in different locations by using "phantom" or "dark" photons: the atoms are coupled through electromagnetic fields, but the corresponding field modes do not have to be fully populated. In the case where atoms are placed inside optical cavities, errors in quantum information processing due to photon absorption inside the cavity are diminished in this way. This effect persists up to intercavity distances of about a meter for the current levels of cavity losses, and may be useful for distributed quantum computing.

I'm Sugar, we've met before. Some of you even wrote letters to Ted to say you also have a Jack Russell Terror.Terrier living with you. I could tell you how lucky you are, but you already know. On behalf of all Jack Russells who own boats-all dogs everywhere for that matter-let me give you a clue before we get started on the important boating issues: we know those bacon strip things aren't really bacon.
You lay a few strips next to your eggs and gobble `em down with biscuits and gravy on a Sunday morning, maybe we'll be convinced they're actually as good as the real thing. Otherwise, who do you think you're kidding? We're dogs, not dumb animals. And while we're on the subject, yes, we certainly do understand English. Better than most of you understand Dog, I'd wager (if I knew what wager was).
Now, on to the issues: If I could run this boat, believe me, I'd make some changes around here.
To start with I'd put the shore much closer to the dock. When it's time to do my business I have to get someone to hold the gate open because it only swings inward (whose idea was THAT?) Then I have to run all the way down the walkway to the shore, where anyone who wants to can watch. Then back up the walkway (just as fast as I can in case it's time to go swimming), nosing the gate open by myself because "you-know-who" is too lazy to stand there and open it for me, plus his friends think it's cute and smart. Talk about stupid pet tricks; a prairie chicken could pull this one off. Thank goodness I can keep an eye on the Jesskie from the shore, be just like him to try sneaking off without me.
Another thing, I'd get rid of the top of the Boat. How are we supposed to soak up the sunshine with the top always getting in the way? It's not like we can get up there and eat lunch or chase the ball or anything good like that. I suppose we could keep the Jesskie up there, but other than that, tops for boats are useless and detract from pure boating enjoyment. The only good thing about tops for boats is when it rains, and in that case we shouldn't be out there anyway. In fact, if there's thunder, we shouldn't be anywhere. I for one will be glad when boat design evolves to the point that tops are not even included, but knowing humans, they'll probably charge extra to leave `em off.
Since we already have the hammer out for removing the top, why not install a doggy door on the Big Boat so I can come and go as I please? Just put a fence around the lake if you're really worried about someone stealing me, just like the yard at home. Then I can do a better job of greeting anyone who comes to the dock, plus if any other dogs decide to sing some songs, hey, I'm right there. This is very do-able.
As for other changes I would make to create a better boating environment for dogs (and I think I speak for all of us), here are a few more:
Have more than one ball around. They will still be "My Ball," but with options. Have one for you to throw anytime I want. Have another one to lose like you always do (and please try to lose only that one, not the one we play with). Have one for me to guard with my life and sleep with. And get one for you to sleep with, too. Everybody's happy.
Another great idea: have a constant buffet going on this rig. Why not? We could have crackers and cheese ready all the time, plus those little sausages I like, but no tomatoes (and NO BROCCOLI, which should go without saying). You'll probably whine that there's not enough room on the boat to run a full-time buffet, but look, there's plenty of room down here on the floor. Problem solved. Let's get that going, ok?
You know, all this planning on improving the boat just gave me a terrific idea. Why not move to the Big Boat for all the time? You wouldn't have to go to work anymore, leaving me alone even when there's thunder. We'd get to swim whenever we want to, and have buffet every day, and when your friends come over with money, we could even ride the Jesskie!
Oh, another thing about that buffet-no fake bacon, either. Just trust me on this.
Until next time,My Best from the SternSugar

Despite what the weather people keep saying we haven't seen a drop of rain yet, in fact it's sunny right now! It's very windy so our walks have been interesting and a little extra challenging but at least we have been able to take them and be dry while doing so! We spent most of yesterday outside and my lunch was an after thought because I was trying to use valuable naptime to get dinner cooked. I just had a yogurt and one of my apple muffins. The time was well spent though because dinner simmered all afternoon and tasted great because of it! I made chicken and three bean chili which we topped with some 2% cheddar and monterey jack cheese. My headache took me out of commission after that but because I cooked early I also cleaned early which was nice because I woke up to a neat kitchen.
They are still saying we are going to get rain but at this point I'm not as gullible so I think we'll just do what we want to and if we happen to get wet doing it, oh well. I made scrambled eggs for breakfast and I had a banana and a muffin along with it. Someone else in this house needs to start eating these muffins…I think I am over-doing it! Have a great Friday and a good start to the month of October!
I didn't even realize until this morning that I never blogged my meals last night. I had a headache all night and apparently that was all I could think about! I never get headaches so when I do, they really throw me off!

Shane Victorino became a part of Boston sports lore when he clobbered the go-ahead grand slam over The Green Monster Saturday night in Game 6 of the ALCS.
Following the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers last August, GM Ben Cherington had extra money to spend in the offseason in order to rebuild the Red Sox.
One of the players the Red Sox signed was Shane Victorino, who inked a three-year. $39 million deal. A deal that was heavily criticized at the time, Victorino has earned his $13 million this year, especially after clobbering the go-ahead grand slam Saturday night that landed Boston in the World Series.
"It was a special moment," Victorino said Saturday after hitting the grand slam. "It's been a special year, we battled, and good moments like this, you cherish it."
Victorino, once the heart and soul of Charlie Manuel's Phillies, wasted no time fitting in. He was arguably the best defensive right fielder in baseball, going along with a .294 average and .351 on-base percentage.
"He added an elite defender in right field," manager John Farrell said. "The numbers bear that out. Depending on what measurements you want to use, he's been probably the best right fielder defensively in baseball this year. He's added a grit to this team that we've seen repeatedly with the pain threshold in which he's played with."
Despite nagging hamstring and back injuries, Victorino didn't miss much time. He played in 122 games and didn't change his style, continuing to run into walls and slide hard into every base.
Coming off a sub-par 2012 (.255/.321/.383), he rebounded this season. He also provides experience having won a World Series with the Phils in 2008.

The Early Buddhist Manuscript Project
The British Library / University of Washington Early Buddhist Manuscripts Project was founded in September 1996 in order to promote the study, editing, and publication of a unique collection of fifty-seven fragments of Buddhist manuscripts on birch bark scrolls, written in the Kharoshth-script and the Gándhárí (Prakrit) language that were acquired by the British Library in 1994. The manuscripts date from, most likely, the first century A.D., and as such are the oldest surviving Buddhist texts, which promise to provide unprecedented insights into the early history of Buddhism in north India and in central and east Asia. Research findings and translations are being presented in publications of the University of Washington Press."

Just got on, but does anyone know how to get the .132sfi to work with .151?
Just got on, but does anyone know how to get the .132sfi to work with .151?
Yes just go ahead and use the instructions on the following link:
Thanks alot I got it to swap out but all of the icons are blacked out
I am not 100% postive swap will work on .151 OS. I believe once Lryicidal quit supporting that program it doesn't have the proper updates. What he has done is added the swap a radio feature into Shrink A OS
NP I meant to get clarification on it from Lyricidal last time we were talking but I forgot at: But for sure you swap only supports up to the .148 radio, .151 and beyond will be supported by Shrink and the new swap feature. I know he had to tweak Shrink to work with .151 OS so I am almost positive he didn't bother tweaking swap since it is going the way of the dodo
Did the 3-60 batt pulls as well swap radio and still got the blacked out icons, all I want is a faster accelerometer
See above post awill try the following
Go into your cdma folder and your backup sfi folder and copy the backup sfi file and past that into your cdma folder. Then delete the back up sfi folder then download and run shrink a os and use the swap feature on that one and see if that will work
thanks alot guys, will let you in a few
Another question where can I find BBC V7.1.3
Here ya go
Thanks big guy
now before I swap this combo should work right? (.151/BBC V7.1.3/.132sfi)
great here we go
Hey Bryan everything is working great thanks bro!!!

Abigail Adams 2d to John Thaxter
April 27 1783
Opportunities of conveyance from America have for these many Months past been so seldom, that it would be unpardonable to omit the present,
my good Will
being so greatly indebted. Allow me to judge; and the intrinsick value, will by no means balance the account.
{ 138 }
We have been in the disagreeable state of uncertainty and expectation, balancing between hopes and fears, for this long time; and are by no means confirmed as yet.
letters have so contradicted each other that we know not what to judge, by his last date of Feb 18, I suppose it is his intention to return home immediately without waiting to hear from Congress, Mamma thinks otherwise. We have in the week past had a report from N. York, that Mr. Jay had arived at Phyladelphia.
Some persons supposed it might be pappa—but yesterday the account was contradicted. I wrote you a forghtnight since by a vessel of Mr. Guilds that was going a roundabout way.
Whether you will receive it or not is uncertain, some reasons induce me to wish you never may—and yet I wish you to know that we have not been inattentive when any conveyance has offered.
Peace is again restored to our Country. Tis not received with so great a degree of joy and gladness as could have been expected, or as so important an event demands. The political World have been balancing in their minds with regard to the certainty of it, not having received satisfactory accounts till very lately.
Mamma has thought it best to put my Brothers under the care of Mr. Shaw at Haverhill which has deprived us, of a very agreable part of our family. Charles a sweet boy was just become a companion: and enlivened many a solitary moment, but Mamma consulted their advantage; twas hard to part with them, we are now but five in family—except honest
Dont you think this is an interesting detail of events to communicate many thousand Miles. Braintree I assure you looks more solitary than ever; we have generally had some person as a preceptor for the young gentlemen, and we have been fortunate in meeting with those who were agreeable. My Brothers absence deprives us even of this privilege. The general determination is to convert the great House at Germantown
into a Monastry and
in our own distress?
all turn Nuns. Miss Paine is to be Lady Abbess, and parson W
has offered to become professor. However we chose a person not quite so advanced and have had the offer of one—very agreable, "he is the professor and practitioner of Urbanity." He proposes following the King of Prussia's late example. After a certain short time, to absolve the assembly of Nuns and take one under his immediate protection,—a good plan is it not? We expect however; when you long absent gentlemen return, that you will at least make use of some very powerfull arguments with some of us, to change our situation. Twill be unpardonable if you should disappoint our hopes and expectation.
{ 139 }
I have scribled away at a curious rate. I had nothing particular to say when I took my pen, but to indeavour, by Words only, to make some little return for your past kindness. I have not succeeded to my wishes, a perusal will only augment the mortification of having said nothing better.
The situation of our friends at Germantown is realy disagreable, tis hard that so great a share of excellence as there exists; should be so
clouded by misfortunes and unhappiness,
but we cannot account for the various causes of events. Those that are fraught with happiness do not claim so great a degree of our amaizement and surprize, as the contrary. "The Ways of heaven are dark and intricate."
I believe tis a happiness to have arived at that state of mind in which we can look calmly and composedly on all the events of fortune, and meet its decrees without repining. This is seldom attained by youth for where it does exist in young minds there is generally a want of that sensibility and feeling, which, constitutes it a virtue.
Not one word have we heard from my Brother
these many, many, months, I feel as if he was lost almost. Sincerely and ardently do I wish for the period to arive when this family, Now so widely seperated; shall be again collected. I anticipate the many future scenes with pleasure and my imagination sometimes, perhaps always, leads me beyond my reason. At times I feel very impatient, that there is not a prospect of its being at an earlyer period than I am allowed to expect. Whenever you shall receive this, make my compliments to Mr. Storer—and permit me to subscribe your young friend
A Adams
I must ask Miss D—
pardon for not long ere this acknowledging the receipt of the
. As you have desired to be permitted to communicate any returns I shall make to her, I authorize you, to present to her my best compliments, and thank her for this mark of attention to one unknown to her, and in that way which shall be most acceptable to the young Lady acknowledging you to be a better judge than I possibly can.

For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, US. Government Printing
Washington, D.C. 20402
Papuan Campaign: The Buna-Sanananda Operation (16 November 1942-23 January 1943) is one of a series of fourteen studies of World War II operations originally published by the War Department's Historical Division and now returned to print as part of the Army's commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of that momentous clash of arms. These volumes, prepared by professional historians shortly after the events described, provide a concise summary of some of the major campaigns and battles fought by American soldiers. The skillful combination of combat interviews with primary sources, many of which are now lost, gives these unassuming narratives a special importance to military historians. The careful analysis of key operations provides numerous lessons for today's military students. Foreword to CMH Edition
I am pleased that this entire group of studies will once again be available I urge all military students and teachers to use them to enhance our collective awareness of the skill, leadership, daring, and professionalism exhibited by our military forebears.
Washington, D.C.
15 September 1989HAROLD W. NELSON
Colonel, FA
Chief of Military History
In the thick of battle, the soldier is busy doing his lob. He has the knowledge and confidence that his job is part of a unified plan to defeat the enemy, but he does not have time to survey a campaign from a fox hole. If he should be wounded and removed behind the lines, he may have even less opportunity to learn what place he and his unit had in the larger fight. Foreword
American forces in action is a series prepared by the War Department especially for the information of wounded men. It will show these soldiers, who have served their country so well, the part they and their comrades played in achievements which do honor to the record of the United States Army.
/s/ G. C. Marshall
Chief of Staff
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.Papuan Campaign: the Buna-Sanananda Operation is the second of a series called AMERICAN FORCES IN ACTION. The series was prepared at the suggestion of General of the Army George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff. His foreword, as used in the original edition, appears on the previous page. The series was originally designed for military personnel only and primarily for wounded soldiers in hospitals to tell them the military story of the campaigns and battles in which they served. With the cessation of hostilities, Papuan Campaign is released as a public document.
This study was based on the best military records available. Although in its published form it contains no documentation, the original manuscript, fully documented, is on file in the War Department. Aerial photographs are by the Allied Air Forces, S. W. P. A.; all others are by the U. S. Army Signal Corps.
Readers are urged to send directly to the Historical Division, War Department, Washington 25, D. C., comments, criticisms, and additional information which may be of value in the preparation of a complete and definitive history of the Buna-Sanananda operation.

Toshiba's New Kid-Friendly Laptop
With the Holidays right around the corner, it is no surprise shopping season has already started. Long lines, crowded streets and busy shopping centers are a reality every year to all of us. Why not pick up big-ticket items now? Due for release in October is the Toshiba Satellite L735D, a new laptop from Toshiba designed with the little ones in mind.
Stocked with a 13.3″ widescreen display, built in webcam and sporting a silver and neon-green skin, this laptop will definitely catch the eye of any child. Something we found particularly cool about this laptop is its wipeable keyboard, how ingenious is that? Toshiba put a lot of thought into the L735D; did we mention every L735D comes with the LEGO Harry Potter video game installed and ready to play?
Here are some additional specs.

Tomorrow Microsoft will bring dramatic 3-D mapping to the browser window. Windows Live is set to launch photorealistic 3-D imagery for the "urban core" of 15 U.S. cities: San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Detroit, Phoenix, Houston, Baltimore, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas and Fort Worth. An image of virtual San Francisco, as provided by Microsoft, is above.
Microsoft has already built out 3-D terrain imagery on a near global basis and the company has said it wants to expand 3-D imagery to all major U.S. cities and those around the globe.
The 3-D imagery will be another view, available beside the 2-D existing aerial views, which include Bird's Eye. Microsoft already offers real-time traffic information and will do so in the 3-D environment as well. All the features of Live Local, including collections and local listings will be available in the 3-D environment.
And yes, advertising will be happening within the 3-D product. There will be, for example, brand advertising on 3-D billboards and on virtual building sides. According to the press release, "Similar to billboards on the side of roads, virtual billboards will be available throughout Live Search in the 3-D view. The ads available within the Virtual Earth 3-D experience are created using a combination of technologies from Virtual Earth, Massive Inc. technology, and the advertising platform from Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions."
Here's virtual Seattle, complete with virtual billboards:
Can't see them? Look to the right in the image above, and you'll see the one shown in the close-up below:
As it hasn't been sold, a "test pattern" style image serves as a placeholder.
Here's another unsold billboard close-up, to the right of the Space Needle:
Consider also that video can be embedded in these slots as well. There are also numerous e-commerce scenarios.
Recently, brand advertisers have been tripping over themselves to get into the virtual world Second Life. Live Local 3-D isn't that far away, representing an interesting evolution of dynamic mapping toward gaming. To that end, there are many social media possibilities in the new 3-D environment – Collections is just the beginning.
Last year Microsoft bought Vexcel a company that developed a super high resolution camera and 3-D rendering technology, among other technology. Microsoft's Erik Jorgensen said that most of the 3-D rendering in the new views of Live Local were done on an automated basis, with some minor human intervention after the fact. This means the company can scale these 3-D models quickly for cities around the globe.
Taking a step back, the mainstream use case of mapping is still driving directions. But don't dismiss this as novelty. The engagement that 3-D mapping will drive will be considerable and the browser availability will make the product more accessible to audiences than Google Earth is currently, as a download.
As more and more layers of information are embedded in 3-D mapping it moves from novelty to utility. There's much more the think about and discuss with the new product, which I haven't yet been able to test. But it's safe to say that this is a dramatic next step in online mapping and that the whole segment is just getting more and more interesting.
Postscript From Danny: The latest feature sounds great, but unfortunately the name will be confusing to some. To recap:
MSN Virtual Earth was announced back in May 2005 (see MSN Virtual Earth To Take On Google Earth. Virtual Earth was to feature "Bird's Eye" view of buildings.
MSN Local Search (with "flat" aerial maps) launched in June 2005.
MSN Virtual Earth launched in July 2005 but without the Bird's Eye images.
MSN Virtual Earth became Windows Live Local in December 2005 and gained the bird's eye images. The former "Virtual Earth" name (which was excellent) got sucked up by the Microsoft turning all of its search properties into the Live brand. Virtual Earth only survived as a "powered by Virtual Earth" mention o the Windows LIve Local site.
Now "Live Local" is being reduced to simply "Live" or "Live Search" but Virtual Earth is coming back, at least in the press release, as "Virtual Earth 3D."
The maps are now live, and you can get to them via either:
Well, supposed to be live. They're promised, but so far, I can't get any of them to render.
In addition, Firefox is not supported. You want to see the 3D cities? You gotta use IE6 or IE7, then download a 500K setup file, then downloading another 5MB file. That's a pain, and a far bigger download than Microsoft suggested would be required when I spoke with them about the new service. Then again, Google Earth is a 15MB download.
Postscript 2 From Danny
Got it working now on a different computer. If you don't see buildings, have patience. It can take a minute or two for them to start slowly appearing. Here's Las Vegas from a live shot:
Yes, that looks like a Pac Man monster on the side of the Luxor pyramid. But it's not -- instead, from the Microsoft press release image here, it's a promo for the play Hairspray.
Here's a live shot of San Francisco to compare against the image Microsoft sent earlier, at the top of this article:
The quality isn't as good, but it's certainly not bad. Many more non-live photos can be found in the release.

This set of webpages is my attempt to organize my notes on early Russian clothing. As such, it is a work-in-progress and the information is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory. It is published "on-line" as an invitation for others to share information that I don't have (Thank you!) and to help others who are treading the same ground I already have.
It may seem repetitive at times, when I have a paragraph about an item based on Pushkareva, followed by a paragraph with slightly different information from Stamerov. But I have found it useful to carefully indicate where the different information came from, so I can double check it later or make judgements based on the reliability of the source.
Since the terminology of ancient clothing is often controversial, authors frequently seem to use different terms for the same garment. This is why I set up the "layers" system of organization, so that similar garments being used in similar ways would be discussed on the same page for comparison. The terms svita and shuba are an example of garments that have a lot of similarities and may (or may not) be overlapping terms. (I've noticed that Russian researchers tend to be splitters rather than lumpers.)
Fabrics and Furs Colors and Dyes Garment Construction Decoration and Ornament Jewelry Collars, Cuffs, Voshvy, Borders Belts, Purses, Gloves, Mittens Footwear
Clothing in early Rus', as in other cultures, reflected societal norms, and the individual's originality and conception of beauty, and indicated rank, wealth, profession, family status and locality. (Pushkareva97)
Rus had close political, economic, and cultural ties with the Byzantine empire which had a noticeable (but fiercely debated) affect on the form of clothing in Ancient Rus, particulalry for the upper classes. At the same time, Rus was not isolated from Europe, the controversial Viking origin of the Rus rulers, the interaction with Finnish neighbors in the north, and trade with Western Europe meant that clothing in Rus was not completely isolated from styles in the rest of Europe.
The climate of Rus was fairly cool. Long winters and cool summers made closed up clothing with many layers and furs practical. (Kireyeva)
In distinction from peasants - city dwellers and the representatives of the ruling class were "all in boots". The leather shoes of the 10-13th cent. - porshni, soft shoes, "half boots" and boots without heel and stiff base - were cut simply and crudely, but then brightly colored. (Pushkareva89)
In general, the garments of nobility had more detail than those of the lower classes. (Pushkareva97) The clothing of the representatives of the feudal nobility also had more items in each of the layers of clothing. (Pushkareva89)
Aristocratic ceremonial clothing also demonstrated wealth with multicolored cloth, silver and gold embroidery and expensive furs. One princess owned a red coat lined with fox fur when a single fox pelt worth was more than a silver ruble - a year's pay for a peasant. (Pushkareva97)
Fine imported fabrics (pavolok) were reserved for outer garments and festival costumes. The main imported fabrics were taffeta, brocade, stamped velvet, golden velvet (velvet embroidered with gold thread). (Kireyeva)
Fur was used extensively. Winter clothes were lined with it, and trims and edgings were made of it. Peasants used wolf, fox, bear, rabbit, squirrel and especially sheepskin. Nobility enjoyed beaver, otter, sable, and marten. (Stamerov)
The other required item of male clothing was the trousers (porta). It was worn belted with a drawstring (gashnika) and could be tucked into boots or wrapped with onuchi (cloth leg wraps). Peasants would wear coarse linen, while wealthier Rus wore finer cloth, even silk - as second pair of trousers. (Kireyeva)
The basic trousers worn against the skin would be linen, and and often a second pair of trousers was worn over them made of more expensive fabric, linen, wool, or possibly silk. Thus the linen under-trousers would serve as underwear. (Kireyeva and Stamerov)
The trousers and rubakha seem to have functioned as underwear and, possibly, sleepwear.
More information about the garments in layer one.
Layer 2: svita, shuba, opashen, dalmatika
Svitas to be worn in winter were fur-lined. (Kireyeva)
The shuba seems to have been very similar (identical?) to the svita.
The opashen was worn later in this period. It could be ankle-length, or it could be only just long enough to cover the svita underneath. Like the women's version, it could be worn over the shoulders like a cape.
Noble men also might wear a garment much like the women's dalmatika on formal occasions. This is depicted in the Radzivill chronicle, for example. I have not yet run across a "Russian" name for this robe.
More information about the garments in layer two.
Layer 3: Cloaks and plashevidonoj (cloak-like) garments
The nobility might wear a cloak called the korzna over their clothing. It was rectagular or rounded in form, usually hanging down to cover the knees, and was fastened over the right shoulder with a fibula. Some cloaks were also fastened in the middle front to hang over both shoulders. (Kireyeva, compare with Stamerov on ceremonial clothing)
More information about the garments in layer three.
Over the rubakha was worn a long tunic reaching to the ankles with narrow sleeves, then over that a dalmatica with wide straight sleeves shorter than the sleeves of the tunic. The dalmatica was considerably shorter than the tunic reaching approximately the calf, and it was belted at the waist. Over the dalmatica was often worn a mantle (fastened in front) or, more rarely, a korzna (fastened on the right shoulder). (Stamerov) or (Kireyeva).
The cloak-cape was long preserved in the costume of the ancient Rus in celebratory clothing. Comparing the Radzivillovski Chronicle with frescos of Sophia Cathedral of Kiev, one can conclude that the over garment was loose and long, supplemented with "raspashnym" clothing (a type of cape or cloak), a collar, a "podol" (lap of skirt?) and a "styk" (joint?) of fabric which was otorocheny (edged?) with a border. On frescoes of St. Sophia's in Kiev, the women were dressed in just such dresses and edged cloaks (plashi). Sometimes, that edge or border was sewn on and represented itself as a wide silk braid, embroidered with gold. Galloon/braids of such type are found in burials. (Pushkarva89)
Monks wore a rubakha-khiton reaching to the feet with narrow sleeves over the hands, belted with a wide belt; and a cloak-mantiyu hanging just below the knees and fastened in the center front. They wore a pointed hood and bast shoes or boots.
Cloistered monks wore the usual clerical vestments when appropriate, but with the epitrakhil (the long scarf with crosses that hangs down the front) over the khiton, and a cowl (a fairly close- fitting pointed hood with a cross over the forehead) on the head, over the hood (?), which was pulled down low over the brow. (I'm still not sure what all that means. I am told that the epitrakhil is to be worn only by ordained priests, whether monastic or not. Deacons wear a similar item, but over one shoulder only, since they do not have the priests' double portion of grace. A monk who is also a priest is a hieromonk. See below for further information.) Black clothing was not required in Kievan Rus, even for cloistered monks. Khitons could be dark brown, gray or dark blue. Mantles were dark brown or dark red. Fine crosses were embroidered in red on the epitrakhils and hoods. (Stamerov and Kireveya)
After seeing my confusion in the above paragraph, Justin Griffing, aka Iustinos, shared the following information:
A coarse wool fabric was called "vlasyanitsy" (hairshirt); monks and nuns wore it directly on the body as a form of self-torture. (Pushkareva89>
At the beginning of the 10th century especially, noble costume was ornamented with beads, nachilniki, and sequins. (Stamerov)
Earrings were not particularly common from the 10th-13th centuries (but more common for men than women), but bracelets, rings, beads and necklaces were. The majority of jewelry was made of metal. Peasant jewelry was of copper, bronze or low-grade silver. Noble jewelry was of silver, and sometimes gold. (Stamerov) Jewelers techniques included pearlwork, silverwork, filigree and enamel. (Kireyeva)
Small embossed coins, engravings, stampings, castings, zern (solder for making tiny metal grains), filigree, and black and partitioned enamel were among the techniques mastered in Kiev. (Stamerov) Tin sequins of various forms were sewn in ornamental bands and stripes on the yoke, etc. of clothing and frequently had gems attached to them. (Stamerov)
Jewelry was often designed for individual commissions. Gold and silver jewelry with precious and semiprecious stones was often passed down for many generations. (Pushkareva97)
See Jewelry Page and Accessories Page.
The rubakha could now have a side neck opening, but still had no collar. (Kireyeva) Trousers were essentially unchanged. (Kireyeva) The zypun replaced the svita, but had a very similar form, although shorter. This served as outer wear for peasants. (Kireyeva) Kaftans of several forms came to be worn by the upper classes over the zypun. (Kireyeva) Over the kaftans could then be worn the feryaz, okhaben, opashen, or odnoryadka for appropriate occasions. A couple of variations of shuba developed to also serve as outerwear. (Kireyeva)
The traditional favorite color of clothing remained red. (Pushkareva89)
In the 15th cent. cloaks and capes were used more rarely, and together with changes of form clothing was changed and also the set of its traditional accessories. Fibuly became a rare ornament. But the belt remained a necessary accessory. (Pushkareva89)
Onuchi and sandals continued to serve as footwear in the countryside, but city dwellers preferred boots. Boots with heels appeared in the 14th century. (Kireyeva) The shoes became significantly more complex in cut and design with openwork appearing, along with composite manufacture at the end of the 15th century. (Pushkareva89)
Hats became more diverse, but were generally conical like the kolpak. The tafya, skull cap, was often worn at home. (Kireyeva)

Pitney Bowes Inc. signed an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the stock of PSI Group Inc., the nation's largest mail presort company, for $130 million.Subject to the completion of certain conditions, the transaction is expected to close in third-quarter 2002.
PSI prepares, sorts and aggregates mail to earn postal discounts and expedite delivery for its customers. The company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes, continuing to operate under its current management and focusing solely on providing presort mail services.
PSI employs 900 people in its 12 operating centers nationwide and its headquarters in Omaha, NE.
Currently, Pitney Bowes, Stamford, CT, works with various mailing companies around the country for different parts of its business, but this is the first time it will own a presort entity.
Murray Martin, president, global mailing systems at Pitney Bowes, said PSI "does not have locations that cover all or close to all of our customers, and we will definitely be continuing relationships with presort companies across the United States."
Martin also said that under the agreement, even if Pitney Bowes is working in an area where PSI has operations, it can work with other presort houses. PSI is also free to work with other mailing services companies.

Galamsey: A Look Through Another Lens
A practical illustration is the issue of the use of mercury by Galamsey operators. In order to get to the point that the PMMC can buy their gold, collected gold gravel and flakes must be amalgamated into a sellable form. Some people melt the gold together in a furnace, but another common method involves mixing it with mercury and then burning the mercury back off. This leads to release of mercury, a harmful substance into the environment. Legalisation for example could provide for the purchase of these gravels and flakes for a more environmentally friendly process to be used in their processing.
